Normal Or Light Periods With Endo

A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone with endo suffer from "normal" or light periods? Everything I hear from endo suffers is that periods are always extremely heavy etc but Just wondering if anyone experiences lighter periods?

Well the only way to actually determine endometriosis is through surgery and then before that you have to go through so many steps and procedures and be on a wide variety of different birth controls in pill form and so many things in order to rule out anything else but it took me almost a year to be diagnosed with it

I haven’t officially been diagnosed with Endo but my dr is pretty certain I have it. (Haven’t had a laparoscopy yet). But I also have light periods. A friend of mine has confirmed Endo and she also has very light periods.

Erikacrystal I've yet to have a lap so still no confirmed but everything I see has mentioned heavy periods so was intrigued to know if anyone else had the opposite. I have all of the other symptoms unfortunately though. Best of luck with your surgery x
